If you can't use another DB... or you don't want to use another DB
(this depends on how much separation/security you really think is
suited...) you can configure postgresql to respond just to certain
IP over SSL to access just certain DB even on a different port.

I wouldn't recommend this approach. Someone may just close you out
from your own home.
Unless you're accessing the server from static IP and you can use
white listing.
